Mount games from other Steam account?

Garry's Mod general
#1

Hey guys,
i got 2 steam accounts.
Account 1 got Gmod, CSS, dods, hl2:dm.
Account 2 got CSS, dods, hl2:dm, hl2, ep1, ep2, portal, tf2.
If i start gmod(acc 1) the first lines in console are:
“Mounting episodic… Not Mounting episodic (no access)
No permission”
Same with the other games, which are not owned by acc 1.
Question: Is there a way to mount the other games to gmod,
so i can choose/see ep2 and other models?

I don’t know how to do it, but I can tell you that there are several tutorials on how to do it here on facepunch, and probably just as many on youtube.

Why do you have 2 accounts in the first place?

#4

Well actually i got 300 accounts.
I wrote a steam password stealer and now i got many accounts.
You can buy one if you want.
/Irony
OMG! Does it matter? No!
The second account is my brothers acc.
He is at a boarding school now and doesnt got a pc there.
You are happy now?

Thanks at Divran, ill try it again :wink:

#5

You can’t.

#6

If the other account isn’t yours, then you can’t.

#7

I think you mean sarcasm

#8

I think there was something on the GMod Wiki.

Look through that.

(I’ll link if I find it)

#9

I have my brother’s account with DoD:S too, **no **you can’t.

#10

Well the second account is mine, cause i got the pw :smiley:
didnt tried the gmod wiki.
ill try, thx :wink:

Well, you can’t do it the usual way, but you can extract the files through GCFScape. It’s on the wiki.

(Bet $5 someone’s going to come in and say “OMG WAREZ”)

#12

Not warez, you just are breaking the EULA. And it doesn’t always work.

#13

And the first reply to my post is intelligence! Holy damn, that never happens.

Or if it does work, something is not quite right.

For instance. I pulled the GCF for CS:S from a guest pass (I own it now, no more warez needed) and the materials didn’t copy, nor did the sounds.

Which was OK, because all I wanted was models anyway. But yeah, it never works 100% even if you own the game legally (just on another account).

#14

omg warez!!!11 :byodood:

#15

And it’s messy.

#16

well i wont say its “warez” cause i OWN the game,
not the gmod acc but the other acc does.
yeah i already tried to extract it with GCFScape.
but where do i have to put it?
for eg the ep2 models: i open the episode two content.gcf,
go to ep2, extract the models folder, copy the folder to steamapps\mysteamname\ep2
this didnt work for me. i guess the path is wrong :smiley:
tried some other paths but this didnt work, too.
you know the right path?
thx until here :wink:

EDIT:
i put it into steamapps\mysteamname\garrysmod\garrysmod\ and now it works!
is there a better way?
to seperate ep2, ep1, tf2 … models and textures ?

EDIT 2:
found the wiki: http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Adding_Gamecontents_as_Addons
